BL511 Isaiah

Isaiah’s prophecies speak just as well about judgment and justice as they do about hope and comfort. That range makes this book extremely relevant for our day. These ancient words speak to us as individuals, congregations, and as human beings on a fragile planet. In this course we will pay careful attention to the original contexts of these words so that we can better understand what they meant to their original audience. But we will also look at how they have been re-contextualized for different times—including the early church as they tried to understand their experience in Jesus Christ.
